Description: The Northern Research Station's laboratory in Morgantown, WV focuses on the control of pests, pathogens, and invasive plants through a wide range of measures. The $493,000, as part of the base program, helps ensure adequate science capability to control and manage major forest pests, including the gypsy moth, sudden oak death, oak-wilt disease, hemlock woolly adelgid, and the emerald ash borer. The scope of the work is East-wide. Leading-edge science in insect and disease control is critical to ensuring the proper management, protection, and wise use of America's forests. Funds help support two scientists and provide about $245,000 in grants to cooperating universities to help develop control measures. Funds for the program address an agency, Department, OMB, and Congressional priority to control major forest pests and pathogens to ensure healthy forests.
